Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

Chapter 83 Talking about Business: The real reason for Yun’s demise

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xu Huasheng sighed.They are good scientific researchers, but they are not good businessmen.

"Everyone, the reason why I say that the Boeing 707 is the first commercially successful aircraft in the world is because both the Boeing Company that produces this aircraft and the airlines that operate the Boeing 797 can use this The aircraft made money."

When Xu Huasheng said these words, everyone raised their heads with serious expressions, and many people felt like they were seeing the sun through the clouds.

"Dear teachers, if an aircraft wants to achieve such a commercial success, it needs to be sufficiently safe and economical. Until now, many people in the world believe that flying is unsafe. And an aircraft often encounters An aircraft that has an accident will inevitably be disliked by passengers and passenger airlines, thus ruining its career. Economy is a necessary attribute for commercial operations, whether it is the high cost of the aircraft itself or the aircraft's fuel consumption If it is too large or difficult to repair and maintain, it will be difficult to succeed commercially. The reason why the Boeing 707 is successful is because the Boeing 707 aircraft perfectly meets these needs..."

As soon as Xu Huasheng said these words, many people suddenly became enlightened. At this moment, they even understood the reason why Yun Shi dismounted.

"Going back to our Yunshi, I know that this aircraft is the dream of all of us. And the performance of this aircraft is pretty good, but have you ever thought about how this aircraft meets the airworthiness requirements? "

Xu Huasheng asked back, which stopped everyone in his tracks. Cheng sometimes looked at Xu Huasheng seriously, looking forward to Xu Huasheng's opinion.

"Everyone, airworthiness is currently a shackle for my country's civil aviation industry. Airworthiness literally means suitable for navigation, and the navigation here is civil route flight. Unlike military aircraft, civil aviation passenger aircraft fly frequently because of their large passenger capacity. Therefore, The requirements for safety and reliability are extremely high, and everyone knows about McDonnell Douglas’s DC-10, right?”

Xu Huasheng asked back. This made some people nod. Isn't this the King of Air Crash?

"A total of more than 400 aircraft were produced, but only 15 of them had accidents, so this aircraft is called the king of air crashes and the cursed aircraft. The Concorde only crashed once before it was withdrawn. Market operation. Civil aviation airliners have zero tolerance for safety defects, so countries that started the civil aviation industry earlier have formulated strict and detailed airworthiness standards, ranging from the structural strength of the aircraft, engine reliability, to deformation in the face of crash and expansion. , the reaction after being hit by a flying bird, the arrangement of seats, the location of emergency exits, the color of control buttons and handles, and the size of seat belts are all involved. Almost every item in the airworthiness standards comes from real life. Accident cases in airline transportation.”

Xu Huasheng's words made everyone take a deep breath.

"It can be said that Western countries are crashing planes, summing up experience, and formulating rules at the same time. Such rules are constantly being updated, becoming more and more strict and detailed. This has also led to the accurate development of civil aviation technology. The barrier to entry is getting higher and higher. If we don’t challenge this rule, even if Yunshi is built, do you think it can be put into operation?”

This sentence made everyone fall silent.

"Although standards can be used for reference, we can directly learn from foreign standards. But whether the aircraft meets the standards requires a lot of experiments and test flights. Everyone, have such standards matured in the development process of our Yun-[-]? We Yun-[-] Are the flight parameters of [-] using accurate and reliable measurement methods that comply with international standards? Can our test flight methods and technologies be able to support this aircraft? Are our materials fully qualified? To put it simply and popularly, who of you can guarantee , can the transport we manufacture [-]% guarantee the safety of our passengers when flying in the sky?"

When this sentence came out, everyone fell silent.

After listening to Xu Huasheng's words, and then thinking about the problems that occurred during the entire Yunshi research phase, no one of them spoke out at this moment because they could not guarantee it.

Yes, Luck Ten is flying, and it has flown several times.

But is it safe to fly a few times, but is it still safe to fly dozens or hundreds of times?They are R&D personnel, and they know best what Yun Shi looks like.

Even though the plane is flying, there are still many problems.Some materials are not up to standard, some data are not accurate, and even some airworthiness test data do not know how to measure them.

Therefore, even if this aircraft is built, no airline is willing to buy it. Unless administrative measures are used, no airline is willing to take this risk.

The Yun-[-] is a civil aviation airliner, an aircraft that is destined to be bought by no one. From a business point of view, what are you waiting for if you don't get rid of it?

"So everyone, if we cannot launch an impact on airworthiness standards and cannot make breakthroughs in airworthiness technology, our large civil aviation aircraft will always be locked in by airworthiness shackles and cannot move. Even if we build large aircraft, they will not meet this standard. , airlines will not buy it. What’s more, airworthiness standards are not only a challenge, but also a weapon used by Western countries to block us. It is extremely difficult for our civil aviation aircraft to obtain their airworthiness certificates. Therefore, For large civil aviation aircraft, sometimes it is not just the aircraft that is the problem, but also our country’s airworthiness standards..."

Xu Huasheng's words made everyone look lonely and even despairing.China doesn't have any airworthiness standards now. It doesn't even have how to obtain various data on airworthiness standards or how to measure them. How can it participate in the research and development process of passenger aircraft?

"Mr. Xu, if that's the case, why do you still invite us?"

A technician couldn't help but ask.These words made Xu Huasheng laugh.

"Because it's very simple, because the first aircraft we want to build is not a civilian airliner at all."

Xu Huasheng said with a smile, which made everyone's eyes widen.

"Everyone, the difficulties of my country's civil aviation large aircraft are not limited to airworthiness standards. In terms of aircraft materials, engines, control systems, etc., we are far behind developed countries. If these things are not solved, even if airworthiness is solved in the future The question is, can we build a large airplane?"

After Xu Huasheng finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the podium in the conference room. He opened a curtain and a huge blackboard appeared in front of everyone.

On the blackboard, there was a huge color rendering. Everyone's eyes widened when they saw this rendering of a large aircraft painted in gray.

The rendering shows a plane, a big plane, a big thing with four engines.

"Dear teachers, this is the first aircraft our company wants to develop. My code name is Yun 20, which is a large transport aircraft. As for its use, it is also very simple. In the future, with the development of the express delivery industry, many express packages will require air transport. For transportation. Instead of renting someone else’s plane, I thought of getting it done in one step. Let’s simply develop our own plane to transport express delivery, and then set up a transportation team to transport our company’s express delivery, so that our express delivery can arrive at dawn and at night... …”

Xu Huasheng said with a bright smile.

The people below looked at the renderings and this heavyweight, and couldn't help but complain in their hearts.

Nima, you said this plane is used to transport express delivery?Believe it or not, who uses this kind of thing for express delivery, unless the name of the express delivery is Dongfeng.
